The hardest thing I’ve done over the past year is to accept that I have no control over many of the elements of my life, especially PEOPLE.

This acceptance appears to be an ongoing process, because as many times as I see the light, so to speak, I often end up talking myself into believing that maybe just this one time I can control the outcome… which these days doesn’t work out so well for me. Check out also this TEDx video about self-control:

I don’t remember all the details about Dangerous Liaisons – but I remember it being a movie about sex, love, and control gone awry. I saw it when I was around 20 and I was floored by a scene where John Malkovich said over and over again “It’s beyond my control.”

On one hand it totally turned me on, and on the other hand, it pissed me off – OF COURSE you have control over this, you moron! Can’t you see you’re killing that poor woman (with whom I could totally relate with at the time)?? More than the context in which he said it, I was moved by the almost visible, tangible battle being waged inside him between needing to control his external circumstances and surrendering to the reality that he simply could not do it.

I got it! I finally figured out why I am so burnt out of my job!!
When I got into recruiting, my mission was small. Make the candidates happy by finding them their dream job. It was so simple and so beautiful. I had a great work partner and the two of us were the true dream team.

I think I got greedy because one day, it just wasn’t enough anymore. I wanted bigger. I wanted better. I wanted more excitement. So I moved over into the corporate world. And then things got hella complicated.

You see, I still make the candidates happy. I still help them get a really cool job at a really cool company, but in the corporate world, it’s so much more complicated. Not only do I have to make sure the candidate is happy. I have to please the following:

Hearthstone (Heroes of Warcraft) is a card game in a logical order. The game is based on a micro-payment free-to-play system. The main idea of Hearthstone to play against other players online.

The rules and idea of the game are similar to those of other card games like Magic: The Gathering. The game is developed in line with the “World of Azeroth”, a famous series of strategies Warcraft (MMORPG World of Warcraft).

Players can choose one out of nine available character classes in this online universe, and then play the cards from their deck one by one. The effect of this is throwing spells (special abilities or weapons), or summon allies.

The basic rules of Hearthstone are pretty simple to learn and players don’t need to be experts who know the ins and outs that are associated with the universe of Warcraft or some other online card games. Players also have the opportunity to participate in training battles where the opponents are the strategists from the world of Azeroth, such as Uther, Thrall, and Gul’dan.

If you are waiting for the schools to break up and are trying to work out ways to keep the teenagers and younger kids amused its time to think outside the box. My last posts all addressed the profession of a phlebotomist but now, the vacation is waiting and school is over (for now, at least). So it’s high time to switch my attention from schooling to some summer fun!

Are you in the mood for adventure? Do you feel the need to explore or try something new for a change? If you are you can bet your children are too.

Paintballing Warfare

Paintball is a heap of fun for the family and it is also very cheap. There are paintballing companies all over that will provide you with everything you need for some colorful war games with your family and friends. You get a great adrenaline rush and can really lose yourself in the activity whether you go out guns blazing or prefer to operate in stealth mode.

I’m sure you’ve probably seen ads all over the place advertising for training to become a certified phlebotomist. Most of these ads are from major universities like Kaplan University or the University of Phoenix. These are legitimate colleges that will train you to become a phlebotomist, but there’s another way you can become a phlebotomist that is not talked about a lot. There is actually free phlebotomy training out there if you know where to look.

The First Place You Should Look For Free Training

If you are one of those people who take their career very seriously and if you have definite plans for how your career should develop and unfold, then mapping your career’s growth can help you know if you are staying on the path you chose or not. It can let you know if it’s time to kick things into overdrive or perhaps time to reevaluate your career plans.

Getting Started

Before you can create your own map, there are some things about yourself you will need to consider.

Know your own value system. This means the things that are important to you and the places in the sand where you draw the line.

Identify Your Life Goal. This is the reason you work, the achievement of a particular goal, the light at the end of the tunnel. You cannot know how well you are doing at moving toward your goal if you haven’t identified what it is.

Name your strengths and weaknesses. Do not hide them or cover them up. Embrace them. They will guide you down your career path.

Understand your likes and dislikes. If you are to succeed in your chosen career, you have to enjoy what you are doing for the better part of the time. A career that pays great won’t serve you well if you hate to do it.

List the skills you currently have and those you need to get to the goal. These will help give you direction along the way.

Time for a career change? Think about nursing? Well, become a Registered Nurse and enjoy a pretty tough but rewarding profession. Here is a short description:

Registered nursing is, in fact, the fastest growing field in healthcare in the United States. Registered Nurses (RNs) are in great demand all over the country and in a great many areas of the United States, there is actually a shortage of qualified RN qualified individuals, which has led to a number of states creating special incentive packages to encourage more people to consider becoming an RN.

Exactly how to become an RN is a question that many people have. How much schooling does it entail, how long will it take and how much will it all cost are all important considerations.
How to Become an RN – What are the Basic Educational Options? – There is, in fact, no standard path for future RN candidates to take when it comes to getting the education they need to become a fully qualified Registered Nurses. There are several different educational paths that can be followed: a master’s degree in nursing (MSN), a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing (BSN), an associate degree in nursing (ADN), or a diploma.

In most states, the General Education Development (GED) examination was changed in 2014 and learners who have not completed the full examination by the end of that year, did see their scores not transferable anymore.

Roughly once every 10 years, the GED exam is updated because it is a high school equivalency test. That implies that the GED test-takers must meet up with the identical educative specifications as high school graduates would. Therefore it is a natural fact that the GED is changing according to high school curricula. Also, GED study materials need to change and many websites also upgraded their practice tests. So far, the website Best GED Classes is one of the best courses for GED preparation and they offer also great lesson plans!

In 2002 we saw the (2nd) latest update of the GED examination, and until 2014, there were a lot of people who were engaged in the 2002 GED exam version but hadn’t completed the test yet. They really needed to get themselves together and complete the examination before the end of that year, as their test scores would not be valid anymore after December 2013.

I recently ran into a young gentleman who told me he was going to start a website design business.
“Who is your business going to serve?” I asked him. “Local business owners,” he replied. “Have you ever thought about serving business owners across the world?” I asked him. “No,” he said.

By all means, I am not taking anything away from this ambitious young man. We need many more like him. I am only trying to illustrate a hugely important point that 99% of all entrepreneurs in America are missing: you can have a global business overnight, today even if you want to. In many cases, developing the global component for your business can mean the difference between success and failure.

With more and more countries coming online to the global business world, there is no reason not to take your business to the doorsteps of the new and emerging capitalist countries of the world. Moreover, you can also grow your market and have loyal customers that grow with you. What do I mean?
